...but have experienced just the opposite results: I KNOW I don't have a scientific mind, but when I discovered oxygen, (yes, like Al Gore) many years ago, its effectiveness for me was hit or miss. Of course, other factors were present, like my being chronic and using one of those nose prongs at a low flow rate. I now depend on oxygen almost exclusively to abort attacks, and over the years the treatment seems to work better than ever. I'm sure we all have differing chemical makeups that explain our diverse CH conditions and reactions to medicines. For me, preventives have always sucked; oxygen just keeps on a-blowing.
A question: Since there is extra gray matter ipsilateral to the affected area, is there a double helping of hypothalamus in the noggins of those unfortunate souls who get it on both sides?
